being a Christian i take helping and loving seriously , i do it without execptations and i do it with out questioning what is in it for me. Wed night i did not want to go to church, but i went and normaly these meetings have bored my out of my head. this night they were talking about the homless shelter formen and in an offhanded way they said something about the women and that there were two pregnant women one about ready to go. this broke my heart , so i asked about her and the man told me that she had nothing at all for the baby and that she was alone. my friend and i went into action we dug through what is left of our baby things, i kissed my husband (he had all six of the kids now) and we left , it is now about 8pm. we find her at  the home , she is so swollen OMgosh it was awful , the baby is not moving she says she has not been eating , my heart was breaking , but we learn that she has a boyfriend and they have been living in her car since feburary . looking at her i told her she really needed to be seen by her dr , she tells me he will not see her , i called him and he said to bring her in, on the way there she tells us how she became homeless and how she can not see her mother because of her mothers husband and that her whole family is threatning to take her baby , we get to the hosptial and they hook her up to those awful machines and we wait , her urine is dropping protiens and is very dark. we noticed that she would stop talking every few moments and whince haha she is in labor, so they check her she had the worst yeast infection i have ever seen and a little blood she is 25% eff and about 1cm and a -2 station , so they told her she would be staying and that if she did not go into labor by 7 am it is now 12am they were going to induce her , so my friend goes back and gets the boyfriend and i wait with her , they gave her meds to sleep and when my friend gets there with the boyfirend i find a very ugly type of person , he was wearing the most expensive cloths i have ever seen and was uptight , he did not go to her nothing , we told him that we would help anyway they needed , we left telling her and him that we would check up on them through out the day they said thankyou and we left, on the way home it is now 2 am my friend tells me that this guy said "he felt he was to good to stay in a shelter, HUH?????????? they were living in the car how can you be to good, well he has a record and can not get a job she was teh one working and everything so when she lost her job they lost eveyrthing , , well y husband bless him had called into work so that i could be with this woman if she needed me and so that i could sleep a little , james knew where my heart was and his is in the same place we were working for God and we would do His work. at about 7am i called teh dirctor of teh home to tell them what was going on she said she did not want to lose her place , i find out that a month ago she came to the shelter they set her up with everyting for the baby and that they had made sure she was taken care of she stayed one night and then left , she left because the boyfriend didnot want to be without her , WHAT THE ???????? she is pregnant needs sleep and food but she left . , ok i get it now she is with a moron and will do naything for the boob. but still i wanted to help , so i called the LD to seehow she was HER MOTHER answered the phone , when i told her how happy i was that she could be there she tells me that she does not know why they had just been at her house the day before . WHAT??????????? now i didnot say anything , but i pictur was forming in my head , i called again around 3pm to see how she was and then at 7pm i called , her mother goes "it is that woman from the church "and i hear " damnit i dont care " i told her mother i hope that she has teh baby soon said thank yo and got off the phone. now this girl todl us she didnot want to lose her baby but she is willing chosing to be homeless becuase of him. and that is fine, what upset me was the fact that she lied about most everything. my friend and i do not push faith  we acted becuase that is what God wanted us to do . but this girl was chosing to be this way . my heart breaks fo rthe baby and the director has already stated that they are calling CPS becase she willing chose to be homless that is wrong , this home shelter had better furniture than my house so she would have been ok , they wanted to help her with everything so did i , but now i am upset becuase she is choseing wrongly. i know that i can not force anyoen to do what is right andi have chosen to listen to God and i am not ashamed of my actions , but i can do no more for her she needed to go to teh hosptial that much was true beyond that i can do no more , . i still care for her but i will not enable people , .
